Such a great afternoon with our Geography Subject Leaders at their network meeting. We have a really strong plan for our collaborative foci for 2023-24. @ChorltonParkPS @DaneBankPS @LilyLaneMCR @OldMoatPS @Rolls_Crescent

Our geography subject leaders network have been together this afternoon, reviewing the @Ofstednews subject research review. We particularly enjoyed unpicking the sections relating to fieldwork and considering our ways forward #TogetherWeMakeTheDifference

Cognitive science has been at the centre of establishing curriculum active ingredients and pedagogical approaches at @clictrust. I have outlined the amazing work going on at @DaneBankPS in this blog for @EducEndowFoundn #TogetherWeMakeTheDifference

[EEF @EducEndowFoundn]

“We began with the cognitive science of learning and ensuring that every teacher understood how long-term memories are made and strengthened.”

@JoAshcroftEd explains how her Trust uses metacognitive strategies in everyday teaching and learning.

I've spent an exhausting but wonderful day with my 11 year old on a fundraising hike up Snowden. 6 hours 32 mins and 11 miles of walking. Every muscle in my lower body aches but I've loved it and could not be any prouder of my son

[Jo Ashcroft @JoAshcroftEd]

@ChorltonParkPS @LordMayorOfMcr @chorltonarts Wow-fantastic. I'm so proud of you all-sounds great 😊

[Jo Ashcroft @JoAshcroftEd]

@JoMidge @ChorltonParkPS @UNICEF_uk So glad you enjoyed the visit...so much amazing work going on at @ChorltonParkPS and the pupils are always the most wonderful hosts

[Jo Ashcroft @JoAshcroftEd]

At the end of SATS week, I feel (as I do every day) immense pride in the pupils at our @clictrust schools @ChorltonParkPS @DaneBankPS @LilyLaneMCR @OldMoatPS @Rolls_Crescent and also for my own son who is in Year 6 (my first time experiencing SATS from a parent perspective)

[Jo Ashcroft @JoAshcroftEd]

My musings for this week...thinking about how effective professional development is an impactful strategy to underpin pupil premium strategies. Such great work in this area at @ChorltonParkPS thank you for listening to my thoughts @AspirerRS https://t.co/CQv2AGVxuD

📚It's Fluency Friday! Myth #5: Reading a text once is enough. Fact: Pupils face many challenges when reading unfamiliar texts, and reading a text once is rarely enough for good comprehension. Repeated reading is important.

[Jo Ashcroft @JoAshcroftEd]

Loving hearing the Governors at @ChorltonParkPS tonight reflecting upon the school's journey in implementing metacognitive strategies, looking at the @EducEndowFoundn voices from the classroom about the 7-step model, recorded by one of Chorlton Park's teachers
